Carrer Petritxol Street Sign, Barri Gotic, Barcelona
Carrer Petritxol, one of the most representative streets in Barri Gotic, Barcelona, stretches from Portaferrisa street (mentioned in the sign as the only exit for vehicles at the other end of the alley) and Plaça del Pi. It goes almost parallel to L...
Archway Exit, Barri Gotic, Barcelona
Given the recent success of Barri Gotic streets featured in Barcelona Photoblog I resume today this topic with a beautiful alley streaming into the arcades in the square back there. I wandered through the whimsical labyrinth once woven by medieval ar...

Jogging in La Rambla, Barcelona
Jogging in Las Ramblas de Barcelona is so difficult that instead of that we should call it dribbling or slalom. On the other hand, stubborn athletes you can find all year long in any part of the world. I don't know, you are in the middle of a safari ...
Coming and Going, Carrer Petritxol, Barri Gotic, Barcelona
Resuming Barcelona as a topic, here I leave you with a view of carrer Petritxol at Barri Gotic. Some people come and some other go for time immemorial. Streets remain but they will also disappear some day and Barcelona will not be the same. History i...
Crossroads Signs, The Nature of Symbols
Crossroads signs are one of those hallmarks of civilization, they are part of a universal symbolic language. We take them for granted but basically wouldn't live without them unless we carry a gps of course. To talk about signs we should first unders...
Las Ramblas: The Most Frequented Street in Barcelona
Las Ramblas, a small scale Catalan version of the Champs Elysées, is perhaps Barcelona's most frequented street and not precisely by the locals. Hordes of tourists wander up and down around the clock under the plataneros (hybrid plane trees) of the ...
